Fabulous Room Friday 01.29.10

I am head over heels in love with this AMAZING kitchen by Mick DeGiulio! I absolutely adore the chic color palette. The contrast of the grey island and camel stools looks fantastic against the black and white used in the rest of the room. I also like the fact that they mixed gold and silver hardware. Truth be told, I probably wouldn’t love those metal racks on a daily basis and would opt for a more practical storage solution, but they work with the look of the room.

The kitchen seems like it would the chosen place of a gourmand like Ina Garten or Meryl Streep’s character in It’s Complicated. It looks like the kitchen of a person who actually cooks! Perhaps it’s the addition of the pot rack and scale. Form and function coexist beautifully here. Behind the island, there is a fabulous LaCornue range and you’ll notice that the cabinetry fits the style of the gorgeous French range.

Great minds think alike, as I too posted that very same one along with several other dreamy kitchens early last week: http://www.abcddesign.com/archives/2010/01/27/kitchen-inspiration-great-source-decorpad/

That image is making the rounds in the blogisphere, and for good reason!

I adore the black metal base cabinets. I have been completely into the idea of metal cabinets lately -- it's different, you know? I've got lots of feedback from my readers ... and it looks like it's going to be a tough look to sell. I don't know why though, it's gorgeous!

Thanks for posting the second image of the range side of cabinets, I had only seen the one with the island included. ABCD
